"If you can't win then do something spectacular to get some TV time..." Well, Al Boughen in that Mercury Comet has certainly got that box ticked in spades. I love watching these old brutes being put through their paces in this series, and the drivers certainly aren't holding back despite the fact that a lot of these cars are worth a ton of money and are rather rare now. Love it, love it, love it...
hmmmm. I wouldn't touch one of these with a yard stick. Imagine all the welding and bondo underneath that nice paintwork... These cars live in garages that have all the tools for bodywork etc. Apart from the cool looks I think thats all.
Hi, I'm from a little island in the midle of the atlantic ocean named Puerto Rico. I really like cuircuit racing and I would lime to know where can I get the rule book for this type of races?
Mate this is known as a Holden Torana SLR 5000. The coupe version (known as A9X) were very successful race cars in their heyday. Having won the great race, Bathurst. And being driven by what some would call an Aussie legend, Peter Brock, look him up. Had a running battle with Ford driver Dick Johnson, who now runs a very successful race team (have won last 2 championships!!!!) with your very own Roger Penske! With the last Aussie falcon, and the first new Mustang. His son Steven Johnson is driving the green and yellow Mustang.
The same way NASCAR is considered professional. You've got a bunch of big cars with lots of power and not much grip. Sooner or later someone's going to run out of room. It certainly makes for interesting races, though.

@@team3383 That's pretty much the same for any racing saloon or GT car. If they've seen any/much racing use they're all pretty ugly under the paint...
@@gosportjamie Thats exactly what I'm saying. But you obviously didn't read.
They may LOOK ok ... The rest ....
More Touring Car Masters! Yank here saying, "Now That's Racing!
Can't seem to find anything past 2017! Any more out there? BIG fan!
Mate - You are a dead set legend! Thanks for posting.
Smoke 'em if ya got 'em.
How appropriate that Boughen in the Mercury doing those skids has the exact same number as Shane van Gisbergen. Both run the number 97. :P
Good on you Alan , LOVED IT . Do it again man.......
Thanks also for putting these up for us to view. Really appreciate it. Cheers....
Commentators non stop bla bla bla. Give it a break boys. Your not the attraction. Absolutely ruine it.

Torana Nª18 with V8 engine?
As a Yank, I don't recognize the red & white car that won. What is it?

Also the car that was spun out halfway thru, is an A9X Torana. Small 2 door coupe with a lot of 5.0L V8 engine!
This is so cool.
Real Racing!
Skids 😁
What car is the N°97??
Juan Manuel Bonzano Mercury Comet dude. It’s enormous!
the field of toranas is growing. will it become the torana series? lol
Very dirty driving and very few penalties. How can this be considered professional?

Its not exactly “professional”, its an Amateur racing series
